The Liabilities Will Amount to
$4,000, Almost Covered.

James L. Lucas, who has for some
three years been engaged in the grocery
business at 50 E. First South street, made
an assignment this afternoon for the
benefit of his creditors. o. r. Ostler, a
former employee, is the assignee, and has
closed the store for the purpose of taking
an inventory. The reason for the step is
understood to be the illness Of James l..
Lucas, who has been from the beginning
the manager for his father. Mr.. J. L..
Lucas has for long time been sufferer
from acute angina pectoris, which totally
untitled him for the business, which has
suffered from his inability to attend to it.
The assets will almost if not quite equal
the liabilities, each amounting to about
$4,000. The preferred creditors are: A.
Gemmill and Mrs. Crowton, $3.50 for bor-
rowed money, and Barnes & Davis, for
merchandise, 81, $50. The only result of
the assignment will probably be to delay
the payment of the creditors, without
ultimate loss to any of them.

HUM BUG"
Roland Reeds New Play Presented
Last Night.

A small audience witnessed the play of
"Humbug last evening at the Theatre.
The comedy Is particularly adapted to
the style of Mr.. Roland Reed and his
support, Jack Luster, humbug, ex-
ploded the vocal organs of his audience
at will. E. T. Weber, as Jackson Lus-
ter, performed the ridiculous duties given
him by his friend, Jack Luster, in a
most laughable manner. Miss Alice
Hastings, as Mrs. Amanda Bertram
Ponsby, did very we'll, but the part
does not afford her the opportunity to dis
play her talent as did the one in
"Chnek." Miss Patrice, as Nettie Shaw,
w. w. Plum, as Jacob Barts, and in
fact, all the characters are worthy of
mention. The play of 'Humbug" shows
the artist to better advantage than that
of Cheek" while it also affords better
chance for the display of his support.
Tonight will be the last chance to
laugh and grow fat

The World Growing Smaller.

The world is growing smaller every
day! Three gentlemen were standing
together in the east room of the White
House at the last State reception. Richly
dressed and beautiful women were
thronging that magnificent parlor from
the green room, having "been through, -
as the expression is, for presentation to
the President in the blue room. The
social mill was in furious operation that
evening, and an enormous grist was be-
ing ground out.
Suddenly medium-sized, fascinating
lady from New York, in an elegant and
becoming costume, emerged from the
hopper. She was the wife of high
railway official in that city. The three
gentlemen glanced at her. No one of
the three knew that either of the others
had ever seen her before.
"Ahp' said Browne, "the last time l
met her l was pouring sand into her
shoes at Long Branch"
''Indeed!" said White. ''The last
time I met her was at the Hotel CONT

CHEAP LODGING.
A Haunted Room Dear at Any
Price.

a young man in search of a cheaper
dwelling than the one he at present occu-
pies, jumped at an offer of a So room,
centrally located, only one block from
Main street, and went post haste to the
spot. Seeing no one but an old lady about
the place, he addressed her:
81 understand there is one room to
rent here for the sum of So per month. :"
"Your understanding is quite correct
one" was the reply.
"But tell me-" said he, "why is it that
it is offered so cheap?"
"Well, you see, some folks says as the
house is haunted, and that ghosts holds
meetins' here, but if you haven't airy a
wife you ought not to mind that"
The young man turned without word
and is at present to be seen looking for a
single room, remotely situated, with rent
at SIS per month.
